Strange that you didn’t write a word on K! I wanted you to clear out the possibility of the Force as a cause...
Bunkum about Force. Obviously if a man goes into trance while standing or walking, he may fall down,– Ramakrishna had often to be held up when he went off suddenly while standing. But it doesn’t produce results like that. I don’t believe he is such a mighty sadhak as to go off into nirvikalpa Samadhi1 for several hours. Moreover it does not give froth at the lips.
Since I’ve got no instruction, I suppose he has to get the stools and physical examination done independently?
I think so.
About epilepsy, I am not quite sure, for it usually doesn’t occur at his age.
Quite so. If he is sure that nothing happened like this before, it can’t be epilepsy.
1 Total absorption into the formless, supracosmic Brahman.
